Really great day meeting with the Well Schools Collective. Amazing to be surrounded by likeminded school and community leaders from across the country As a founding school & deep believer in the movement, I’m excited to present tomorrow morning on ‘how to f*ck the system and still be outstanding’ 😉

Thank you @teachwellall.bsky.social for this :) Truer today than ever

We must have a fully funded pay award this year. After years of cuts there is nothing left and we will see a serious reduction in provision, standards and our duty of care unless money is made available to schools. We cannot wait.

Whether you like musical theatre or not, this will make you smile. She sings the roof off the place. Giant moment. Millions of viewers worldwide. One shot. And she absolutely nails it. When the pressure is on, how do you make sure you (and your team) absolutely nail it? youtu.be/51DdlmM_d6w

I was told my way of thinking was wrong, stupid, and dangerous. I was told that I couldn’t lead a school that way here—that it wasn’t how things were done. If I didn’t like it, I should go back to Canada.

🗣️We are looking for a new Director of Programmes. Are you a proactive and collaborative leader with a deep understanding of the educational landscape? We want to hear from you👇 www.prospect-us.co.uk/jobs/190952-...

The new Ofsted framework could lead to an “army of expensive consultants” and “how-to guides” as schools try to adapt to the new expectations, @headsroundtable.bsky.social has warned the inspectorate. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

We finished up another terrific term with a staff breakfast, before heading out for a fantastic final day with our children. It's always worth taking a bit of extra time to share our gratitude for this amazing team.

This is why I missed her :)

No surprise here 😎

No one is happier than me 🤡

Today Heads Roundtable met to try and make sense of the last week. We will release thoughts soon but emerging thoughts: there’s a lot of change being proposed, we will focus on how it all lands for all children and our staff - not on politics or position. We are #HeadsRoundtable

It’s not just what we do It’s who we are The research culture at the school echoes through the corridors because of incredible teachers like this #ProudHeadteacher

Even with the worst inspiration possible, these kids write like pros.

I get to work with the most amazing people. Inspired everyday.

Didn’t realise this was ‘news’ 😑

So Y5 Computing Careers Week @threebridgessch.bsky.social came to a close today. On Thursday we had”Tech in Music”- DJ workshop, virtual singer songwriter talk & @garageband fun! To finish, today we had a virtual assembly with TechSheCan about tech in sport. Next week our careers fair, can’t wait!

This week's staff meeting was all about Wellbeing What's going well? (on red cards) What's missing? What's next? (onto an action plan - watch this space)

I’m so lucky to lead this incredible place and work with these incredible people.

🎉 Big news! We’re thrilled to officially announce that we are now a proud @CrossFit Affiliate! 🏋️‍♀️🔥 This marks the beginning of an exciting journey, and we can’t wait to build an incredible community together. #CrossFitAffiliate #CrossFitCommunity #CrossFit

This was made at the time I came to London. I’ve spent many hours at Heathrow. Travelling. Collecting. Returning. Leaving home. Coming home. Welcoming people to our home. I was reminded of it this Christmas while watching a film Merry Everything. Happy Always. youtu.be/EU7pZO7cRDs?...

My deputy’s been on jury service since September It’s easy to underestimate and undervalue the impact of the people that are closest to us It’s fairly easy to share out tasks and responsibilities - but what’s not easy to distribute is Who They Are Which is the biggest part of the job

What have you been reading recently? Here are some of the fantastic books we're reading together this term. You can see our Reading Spine here. www.threebridgesprimary.co.uk/Curriculum/O...

Being one of the recipients of HT of the Year in 2021 was a tribute to the incredible community and team I serve. It has been one of the highlights of my career

I work with some of the greatest people on the planet #BestJobOnEarth

When the game is over, it all goes back in the box I’ve never wanted to be a better leader than dad I work 8.15-4.15 (few exceptions) Schools are busy and I don’t really believe in a workload that ends. My inbox will never be empty It’s priorities - and boundaries What do you prioritise?

My daughter’s at a really dangerous age: 2 Truth be told, everything before 18-24 months is terrible for me. So terrible that my mind blocks out the first 18 months of sleepless, wordless, screaming misery and I find myself thinking ‘Maybe it’s time for a third.’ 2 is a dangerous age

Was reflecting yesterday with a group of heads about advice for new HTs Find your people Build in time to think, reflect and pause Every classroom, every day Relationships, culture, people What would you want a new HT to know?

Four years later, here I am—greyer hair, a wider waistline, and two kids in tow. Guess I hit snooze a little too long.
